About Me: The Human Being

I'm considered a funny, affable type of fellow. I'm 6'4" with a deep voice. I like to run for exercise and unwind via video games (Smash Brothers my all-time favorite; my current affliction: Destiny). I'm a big NBA fan -- the Knicks are my team, though unfortunately they haven't been decent for my entire adult life, so I more frequently root for the Clippers (you get one per conference). I also follow the NFL and UFC. I enjoy television (like everyone) -- a smattering of semi-recent favorites are Breaking Bad, True Detective, and Archer. The Shining, The Big Lebowski, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit are tied for my favorite movie.
